When you trade cryptocurrencies or start a business and earn some money, set aside enough for your family's basic living expenses for 5 to 20 years and leave it there, never touching it.\n\nNo matter what kind of desperate situation you encounter in your work or business, you must not touch that money.\n\nOnce you have basic material security, your perspective on the world will change: you will no longer be short-sighted, you will have more patience to seriously cultivate a particular skill, a business, or a field, with the ability for delayed gratification and long-term planning.\n\nBecause you know that even in the worst-case scenario, you can still go 5 to 20 years without working, and your family will still have food to eat and a place to live. But once you don't have that money, that basic survival security, many things you do will have to be short-sighted decisions made out of the urgency to make money, leading to wrong decisions in the long run, making shortsighted decisions, and making decisions focused on quick gains and short-term benefits.
